School Physical Exams Clinic in Orange City, FL

School physical exams are comprehensive health assessments designed to meet the requirements for school attendance and sports participation.

During your visit, our experienced healthcare providers will carefully review your child’s medical history, including any previous illnesses, surgeries, allergies, current medications, and family health conditions. We conduct a thorough physical examination, checking your child’s height, weight, blood pressure, vision, and hearing. Our team will also assess your child’s heart, lungs, abdomen, skin, spine, joints, and muscles to ensure they are developing properly and to identify any potential concerns.

Immunization status is reviewed at every school physical to ensure your child is up to date on all required vaccinations. If your child’s school requires additional screenings such as tuberculosis testing, anemia screening, or urinalysis—we can perform those as well.

At Town Center Family Practice, we also take the time to discuss important topics like nutrition, physical activity, sleep habits, and emotional well-being. We encourage parents and children to share any questions or concerns, so we can provide guidance and support for your child’s overall health.

Once the exam is complete, our healthcare professionals will fill out any forms required by your child’s school and offer referrals if any health issues are identified. We are dedicated to helping your family stay healthy throughout the school year!

Children are typically required to have a physical exam before starting kindergarten or first grade usually between ages 4 and 6. Additional school physicals are often necessary at key milestones, such as entering middle school (around ages 11 to 13) and high school (ages 14 to 16). These exams help ensure your child is healthy, up to date on immunizations, and able to participate safely in school activities, including sports.

Requirements can vary by school district, so we recommend checking with your child’s school or the local health department for specific forms and deadlines. At Town Center Family Practice, our providers are experienced in completing all necessary school and sports physicals.

Annual physical exams are recommended for all children, providing an opportunity for our healthcare providers to assess growth, development, and address any new or ongoing health concerns.

Many local schools require a current physical exam before enrollment or participation in sports, and our team at Town Center Family Practice is experienced in meeting these requirements. We are familiar with the specific forms and timelines for area school districts, and we’re here to make the process as convenient as possible for your family.
